Few jobs today. Bit more testing on the electrical side of things. Went and grabbed my cable chasing gear from work. Sends a pulse down the cable so makes chasing cat5 cable easier. Didn't have much luck with my cars wiring though. Got my new coilovers and leads fitted though, and got the...

Have got a spare set buddy. Does the same.

So we're a bit further forward on this one. New ecu set (with uch) means the high beam now works, and after a loose wire or 2, the horn works... :grin: However, I still have no needle movement on the clocks. I've put a multi meter in pins 24 (earth), and pins 4 (+ pre ignition), 16 (+ post...

Christ! Hopefully you and the occupants are ok though fella?

Well, it could work. A reason for failure is a speedo needle not moving though apparently. But if it has a digital display, then it should pass. It would get it through the MOT for now, but it'd be nice to have a working fuel and temp gauge. 😂

I also set about a few other jobs. New vents installed. The demister T7 unit pipes will run to these, and should do a good job of clearing the screen. Also got some HG Sticker Remover. Awesome stuff, and smells lovely! Definitely use in a well ventilated area though... Quick cut out for...

So time for another quick update on the car... @Daz... came by Wednesday so I could check out his steering wheel, and put a face to a name. Was nice to meet you buddy! Shortly after, @Steven103 came over to relinquish his boredom and continue to try and figure out my electrical issues. He set...

Swapped f2 fuse (15amp). Nadda Checked the resistance on the original and it was working correctly

I've no trust run a resistor with the particular fuses but a visual check and they look ok. That said, the instruments all work correctly when a dash test is performed so I would have thought if a fuse had gone, then it wouldn't work.

Spare clocks have been tried and they do the same. Work on the dash test, but not on ignition or engine firing up. Tried the spare uch in a friends car and his clocks still perform as normal!?

Well, I took it off the other day. Couldn't see any tell-tale scorching. Have got some spares now to try the uch, ecu and keys. See if any of them match.

So have tried another set of clocks and another set of lights. Still the issues remain.

Couple more jobs this evening. I was trying to think of a way of securing the clocks to the top dash without making them difficult to remove (and not using cable ties). I purchased some fancy bolts and washers from CSF last year, so have used some for the headlights, and 2 for the clock...

Oh snap son! At least mine has wheels on!

Wanna buy a tent? Do you good price. Asda price!

At least yours is road legal. I've not even MOT'd mine yet!

Cheers dude. I posted this and then saw the OMP Racing GP wheel that caught my interest. Yours looks tidy, and is a 300mm as well (the GP one is 330mm). Be interested to have a look for sure. Would be good to put a face to a name too.

So I already have a Sparco dished wheel, and I believe an OMP boss. However, with my B&G quick release fitted, the wheel is a tad close to the gut. Long term solution = lose some weight. Short term = a flat wheel, and maybe a shallow boss? Any recommendations on something that won't break the...

Well I can feel which relay clicks when the sidelights and low beam are activated, but couldn't when the high beam was on. So I tried swapping the working sidelight relay with the other positions, and it didn't seem to make a difference. I can't find a record anywhere of an actual relay for...
